Govett on Philippians

by Robert Govett; 128 pgs. Do you know the difference between the GIFT of God (Rom. 6:33) and the PRIZE of God’s high calling (Phil. 3:14)?   -A gift needs only to be accepted -A prize demands care and exertion Robert Govett highlights this distinction as seen in Paul’s relentless pursuit: “If by any means I may attain to the select resurrection from among the dead” (3:11).  Robert Govett equates this select resurrection, or literally “out- resurrection”, with the “first resurrection” in Rev. 20:5-6, defined there as the resurrection of those who will reign with Christ for 1000 years.  Even at this late stage of his life, Paul was unsure of qualifying for that prize.  Robert Govett then hammers this point home with many verses warning all believers of this possibility.
